But they don't care to be called out anymore. The only thing that they don't like is when people are talking about practical tools to circumvent their prisons today.
If you want to keep your audience on centralised social media I'd suggest you to give people enough info to find out about the tools themselves.

- reply

There's Monero for those that like the monetary case. It's not so profitable for TradFi as ETH or BTC because it can't be used to build a digital prison.
Then there is ETH or BCH if you want more use cases covered.
BTC should be left alone. People once said it is immutable and now everybody is fighting over how to change it.
If anything people should invest more into private opcodes and smart contract capabilities where currently it is unclear if all projects are scams or just lack some skills (zano, zephyr, tari to hopefully name the least scammy beyond many more)

Let's start with fungible. From there it becomes pretty clear what is money and what is not.
Monero had figured that out more than a decade ago when Vitalik forked Bitcoin for more op code functionality. His Bitcoin fork became known as Ethereum.
Now Ethereum unfortunately got captured as well and moved to PoS (proof of shit).

That applies to Bitcoin as much as to Monero. Some of us have interpreted the signs of capture a decade early and we will leave Monero again if it should be necessary.
For now you want to be hedged with gold, Monero and productive land and ideally a like minded community and some ammo, both to defend against physical as well as digital attacks.

Kraken (basically) delisting Monero on short notice in the US.
Means a couple of things.
They run fractional with gov NDA (deposits > withdrawals)
They want to prevent a hype with easy access for plebs, while pumping their privacy narrative coin ZEC.
KuCoin is their CEX flex to control prices without bothering about criminally suppressing price (Kraken would face law suites).
Let all CEX die. Real money does not need an interface between you and the service/product.

If you want to do fiat shitcoining go with a Monero card. Most people think that crypto exposes them to price fluctuations and stay away from it. Entrusting their spendable money to skme shitty third parties like banks or "stableshitcoins". But that's not true when you spend it regularly. I recommend to measure price with longer term MAs. It evens out over the long-term but in contrast to fiat your purchasing power is following a slow up slope curve.
USDC will get frozen just like your bank and they are a surveillance nightmare like every transparent chain.

Should I congratulate you like I congratulated you for getting listed on CBOE and CME in 2017?
That's when BTC actually died (it even shows in the purchasing power of BTC that flat lined ever since).
Should I congratulate you like I congratulated you for getting "your" ETF?
That's when BTC died even more. (when TradFi publically took over the steering wheel and narrative).
Should I congratulate you for "onboarding" 20 poor souls to Skynet? If you choose the wrong metric you can play silly games that lead nowhere, other than more surveillance and control.
I don't even care about those numbers. I don't have a credit card and I won't spend hyper tracked BTC on a Square KYC/Chainanal terminal likewise. I'd always use cash in that case.
One merchant that gets what and why he is doing it is worth more than 1000 of fake square adoptors. Why, because he joins the team and can instruct others. Those people you sign up are dead ends.
So meeting the people/merchants where they are is important. Cross reference those businesses that accept cash ONLY (for reasons), but have a young and/or tech savy leadership.
Doing the lazy work for the CIA is the state of Bitcoin maximalism in 2026 it seems. Deprived of all that gave it value in the first place.
Over the years I signed up 5 or 6 merchants with BTCPayServer. I am just one man. Expect what 100M "Bitcoiners" could achieve within a year if rhey were willing yo actually learn to spend ckijs and organise in every city to talk to a couple of merchants all at once.
Missed opportunities. Bitcoin will become a taxed and surveilled credit card 2.0 network for the normies. Not interested in that. Never was.
For everything else (private store of wealth, cash and powering the underground economy) Monero is already in the right place. The only thing holding it back is lack of DEX infrastructure that is coming online this year.
With BTCPayServer every mercbnat is one click away from getting the full protection of the Monero blockchain. With Square you gave a permissioned tool to a dumb person.
More power to you. I hope you guys are paid well. We're just not in it for the same kind of adoption.

It's almost funny how charities are re-introducing financial third parties to not having to touch cryptocurrency directly.
If a charity is not capable of publishing a public Monero and Bitcoin address on their website it means they are either too dumb to entrust you with your money or part of the fiat exploitation scheme.
Sending those financial middlemen any transparent coins is stupid. Let those charities and their middlemen die in the fire they created themselves.
Looking at Opencollective, Giving Block, Endaoment and many fuckers more.
They want your financial data and their cut. In return they will do nothing for the world at large other than furthering your own enslavement.
If you are a decent human with a valid cause tell us how to send you money directly.
For the donors. Using any of these platforms instead of asking for direct support furthers the enshitification of the space and in consequence you will suffer the consequences of the convenience trap you fell into.

You are correct. I would not recommend to go all in on Monero.
But since Monero got rid of fractional CEX the price started to rise with demand making mining more secure. This trend will continue.
So as this trajectory unfolds a Bitcoiner could increase their exposure from 10% (now) to an adequate higher percentage.
Meanwhile we need to see if fractional Bitcoin custodians can suppress prices long enough to make mining less attractive. In that case evaluate the actual security budget Bitcoin offers vs Monero.

As long as price (in fiat) compensates for halvings security budget (theoretically) goes up. Through state regulation or market forces there can still be a concentration of mining power that actually could result in a lower security budget (easier to attack) despite rising hash rate.
Capture comes in many different flavours.
Custodial capture - got worse over time
Price capture - got worse over time
Minng capture - neutral
Node capture - neutral
Narrative capture - got worse over time
Regulatory capture - got much worse
Development capture - got worse over time
It's a constant process. All hope is not lost. But the tendency is clear. Mining and nodes are still the back bone of Bitcoin that hold up its purpose.

I know your take. It has been stated by different people at different times.
I share your perspective talking about Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp and a few more. Asian unregulated CEX ran (or run?) a cartel, helping them out with liquidity.
Mt. Gox ran for three years without sufficient funds and they only got called out because they only traded Bitcoin and fiat rails got decimated.
Binance in the contrary could afford to close Monero withdrawals for months because people still saw exits (selling their paper claims). So the risk for Binance running a scheme like this was probably 50 times less than Mt. Gox doing it.
You also seem to forget that Monero ranked as high as #4 on the CMC list in 2017 before it became a primary target by states and CEX dumping to #60 in the aftermath of the meme coin pumps.
Occam's razor tells us that Monero as the successor of the original Bitcoin idea will be attacked in all ways possible. Fractional reserves are an area where banks and states collude because it results in a win-win situation. Sane is true for CEX and states.

This is a good article, but it fails to address that any philosophical questions rests on top of the survival/existence of the chain itself.
It's missing the elephant in the room.
Small blocks hope to create security through high fees and low throughput.
Big blocks hope to create security through low fees and high throughput.
Both are untested hypothesis as block rewards are still the dominating force.
After closer examination I am sure that both assumptions will not withstand the test of time.
Bitcoin will become less secure over time, which means capture will be easier. This is especially interesting for those that still hold the believes that Bitcoin had not yet been captured.
For those that are waiting for the captureres to announce their victory there is no hope anyways.
That is not how power in the background operates. Power would always call it (our) democracy or Nakamoto consensus for propaganda reasons.

Seems you haven't followed years of discussions around fractional reserves schemes by CEX like Binance, OKX, Poloniex, HTX, Gate, MEXC and likely more.
Monero community started to suspect misconduct in 2021, when Monero had been one of the select few coins that didn't make s new ATH throughout. That's where Monerorun had its origin.
What followed were weeks, months and in some cases years of closed withdrawals.
More known is its more recent history, delistings, officially to comply with MiCA and other regulations. Behind closed doors to buy time to avoid insolvencies.
With the relisting as futures they still capture trader interest while not being exposed to compliance risks or mass withdrawal of coins.
